Stand On Your Own
04:36
|

I wake up in the night
I got something deep on my mind
I can see I was blind
We can make the best of this life
I feel good, I’m alive
On this perfect day I’ve arrived
Was I wrong or was I right?
We can make the best of this life
It’s not about how much you know
It’s about how much you care
It’s not about how much you know
It’s about how much you care
It’s about how much you care
You don’t have to stand on your own
And I won’t give up with when the rain starts falling now
Don’t let it go, keep the dream alive and the passion burning inside
I wake up in the night
I got something deep on my mind
I can see I was blind
We can make the best of this life
It’s not about how much you know
It’s about how much you care
It’s not about how much you know
It’s about how much you care
It’s about how much you care
You don’t have to stand on your own
And I won’t give up with when the rain starts falling now
Don’t let it go keep the dream alive and the passion burning inside
It’s not about how much you know
It’s about how much you care
It’s not about how much you know
It’s about how much you care
It’s not about how much you know
It’s about how much you care
It’s about how much you care
You don’t have to stand on your own
You don’t have to stand on your own

Figuring This Out
04:23
|
|||
Please erase the message on your answering machine
Cause the words are jumbled in my head and isn’t what I mean
I am starting over and I’m talking in reverse
And you listen back at me as if I said something absurd
Can I have a minute just to say what’s on my mind?
I can sugar-coat it all to keep the criticism kind
Sometimes I get that feeling that I’m talking off your ears
And if you can find the time than I can keep it up for years (I’m saying)
Please don’t leave me now
I’m in the middle of figuring this out
I’m just a little bit scared that you’ll walk out
Because you wanted to be with someone other than me (I’m saying)
Please don’t leave me now
I’m in the middle of figuring this out
I’m just a little bit scared that you’ll walk out
Because you wanted to be with someone other than me, yeah
Closing all the doorways, I am wandering the halls
If this empty house has stories they are hanging on the walls
Can’t tell the end from the beginning and I’m sorting out my thoughts
And I got some work to do and some things to get across
I am treading water and I’m stuck out in the deep end
And the life guard is off duty and I’m struggling for air
If I told you I was drowning, then would you not lend a hand?
Cause I feel I’ve told this story now again and again and again
Please don’t leave me now
I’m in the middle of figuring this out
I’m just a little bit scared that you’ll walk out
Because you wanted to be with someone other than me (I’m saying)
Please don’t leave me now
I’m in the middle of figuring this out
I’m just a little bit scared that you’ll walk out
Because you wanted to be with someone other than me, yeah

Not Easy
04:28
|
|||
I have a hard time sleeping, too much on my mind
Try to ease my burdens, if you could be so kind
Did I ever matter? Did I make a dent?
Now I’m second guessing, what it ever meant
It’s not easy to see the forest from the trees
It’s not easy to find the brighter side
It’s not easy to be the hardest one to please
It’s not easy to leave it all behind
I pretend I’m laughing, at a terrible joke
Just to keep from falling, try to find some hope
I was only fishing, for a compliment
Now I’m second guessing, what it ever meant
It’s not easy to see the forest from the trees
It’s not easy to find the brighter side
It’s not easy to be the hardest one to please
It’s not easy to leave it all behind
It’s not easy to see the forest from the trees
It’s not easy to find the brighter side
It’s not easy to be the hardest one to please
It’s not easy to leave it all behind
It’s not easy to see the forest from the trees
It’s not easy to find the brighter side

Killing Time
03:27
|
|||
Sun is up, the day begins
Got my slapping down the snooze again
Lazy head on the sheets
I was sleeping through world war III
Well I guess, I guess I’ll never be satisfied
And I guess, I guess I’m only just killing time
Mom and dad get off my back
Reminding me of all the things I lack
I don’t see the things you see
I was busy watching MTV
Well I guess, I guess I’ll never be satisfied
And I guess, I guess I’m only just killing time
Well I guess, I guess I’ll never be satisfied
And I guess, I guess I’m only just killing time
Hiding out in a tree
Don’t know what it is you want from me
I get home after work
We started talking and you go berserk
My Apple Watch is broke again
While I’m waiting for the world to end
Well I guess, I guess I’ll never be satisfied
And I guess, I guess I’m only just killing time
Well I guess, I guess I’ll never be satisfied
And I guess, I guess I’m only just killing time

Feeling Like A Ghost
03:58
|
|||
I don’t wanna walk this path alone
Stepping in the dark into the unknown
Feeling like a ghost wherever we roam, we roam
Scattering the ashes on the ground
Watching as the plane is circling down
Taking things slow this time around, around
Walking backwards, floating through walls
Feeling like a ghost
Moving forward in the air now
Feeling like a ghost
I don’t wanna live life full of regrets
Brushing all the problems off of my chest
Feeling like I’m always failing the test, the test
Scattering the ashes on the ground
Watching as the plane is circling down
Taking things slow this time around, around
Walking backwards, floating through walls
Feeling like a ghost
Moving forward in the air now
Feeling like a ghost

Heaven Help Us
04:17
|

Hiking around in the Utah desert
The creek dried up in the burning weather
Gone off the trail and map is missing
Walking in circles we keep on pacing
Down on our luck but we can’t help betting
Said don’t look now but the sun is setting
Temperature’s dropping, it’s nearly freezing
It cuts to the bone this time of season
Heaven help us get to where we’re going
The moon is glowing
Heaven help us find a way to home
The path is unknown to us
Off in the hills the wolves are howling
Down in the dirt the snakes are crawling
Gather the wood to start a fire
Just a matter of time before the ranger finds us
It’s hard to believe but keep on praying
Try to be true to the things you’re saying
Bless our souls may we keep on living
Try to deserve the time we’re given
Heaven help us get to where we’re going
The moon is glowing
Heaven help us find a way to home
The path is unknown to us

You think you’d be better off without me in your life
Thought that we could make it as a husband and a wife
I’m just standing by for you to take me back again
I’m so sorry that I didn’t understand
You keep saying that I missed the point of what you said
Can we skip the part where you are stuck inside my head?
I won’t stick around if you don’t want me as your man
I’m so sorry that I didn’t understand
Now you have the time to spend to go and chase your dreams
When you get the thing you want it isn’t what it seems
Cut off on my own I’m left to roam across the land
I’m so sorry that I didn’t understand
I know that I’ve made mistakes and often made you cry
There were times I wish I hadn’t told you all those lies
I just want what’s best for you I’m doing what I can
I’m so sorry that I didn’t understand
I’m so sorry that I didn’t understand

End Of My Rope
04:04
|
|||
At the end of my rope
Feeling like I’m gonna choke
You can only take so much before you break
And you have to try to give before you take
And take and take and take
And take and take and take and take
And take and take and take and take
And take and take and take and take
And take and take and take and take, yeah
Schizophrenic, paranoid
Stepping down into the void
And I’m feeling like a rabbit in the headlights
And you’re shooting for the kill, the blood is boiling in
Your eyes, your eyes
Your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes
Your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes
Your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes
Your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes, yeah
I’m at the end of my rope
I’m feeling like I’m gonna choke
You can only take much before you break
And you have to try to give before you take
And take and take and take
And take and take and take and take
And take and take and take and take
And take and take and take and take
And take and take and take and take, yeah

Someone Else
04:08
|

I wish I was someone else
I’m so tired of being myself
And I wish that I could take this baggage
And put it on the shelf
I wish I was somewhere else
I’m so tired of being here
Every day I get to thinking that
I’m running out of years
Pardon me, I’m trying to let it be
Late at night still caught up in this fight
Still I try, I’m so happy that you stopped by
Let me speak my mind today
These crazy thoughts, in time, will go away
I wish I was someone else
I’m so tired of being myself
Everything has started piling up
I’m feeling overwhelmed
I wish I was somewhere else
I’m so tired of living in hell
Anyday I’ll hit the reset button
You know it’s just as well
All of me, I’m trying to let you see
Hold on tight, there’s time to get this right
Still I try, I’m so happy that you stopped by
Let me speak my mind today
These crazy thoughts, in time, will go away
Pardon me, I’m trying to let it be
Late at night still caught of in this fight
Still I try, I’m so happy that you stopped by
Let me speak my mind today
These crazy thoughts, in time, will go away

Wait For It
04:03
|
|||
Wait for it, please be patient
Wait for it, the day is coming
Wait for it, wait for it
Well I’m on my way back home
And I’m on my way back home
Pray for it, please be patient
There’s no fear, when you start talking
Pray for it, Pray for it
Well you don’t have to stand on your own
And you don’t have to stand on your own
Well I’m on my way
And I’m on my way
And I’m on my way back home

Coming Around
04:16
|
|||
Well I never say a word
All the things you haven’t heard
All the stories won’t come out
Never make it past my mouth
I just keep it my mind
On a loop to pass the time
Like a stone I’m rolling down
And I’m falling to the ground
And I wanted you back home
Cause I’m tired of being alone
And I’m longing for your touch
You can only take so much
And I thought that I was strong
But I wouldn’t last for long
I can only blame myself
When I couldn’t ask for help
Coming around, coming around
Well I never say a word
All the things you haven’t heard
All the stories won’t come out
Never make it past my mouth
When you’re at the hardest part
It’s the only place the start
With the fear I’ve always had,
But it’s feeling not so bad
Coming around, coming around
Coming around, coming around
